Masterwood Joinery

The objective was to provide a showroom building with strong
links to the Central Otago region by use of local materials while
showcasing the disciplines of the client's joinery business. The
showroom was to be positioned on the front of an existing
non-descript insulated panel factory building to give the company a
unique presence largely missing in the surrounding industrial
district.

The showroom was designed as a simple mono pitched form. The
existing building was kept white in colour to keep its recessive
visual value while the addition was designed as a more
substantially constructed form. By maintaining a low profile the
addition still allows the factory beyond to be seen. The use of
local and natural materials answers the request for links to the
local region.

The end result has met the client's brief by providing an
attractive functional space that portrays an image of local pride
and solidity and provides a canvas to showcase their products to
the visiting public.
